Hello, my company is wanting to start pushing WebDirect to access our solution. I have been developing with FileMaker for several years, but haven't spent too much time developing specifically for WebDirect. What are some tips you have for developing specifically for WebDirect? Or if you know of any articles or videos that you want to share instead of articulating, that's fine too. 😀

In addition to just the building part, also consider the deployment part. Your FMS now becomes an application server in addition to a database server so make sure it has enough processing power, disk speed and memory to deal efficiently with the extra load.
